welding:
GMAW (MIG/MAG)
FCAW-SS
SMAW (MMA)
GTAW (arc ignition using lift TIG)
The following equipment has been added to
SPEEDTEC 215C:
Work lead – 3m
Gas hose – 2m
Driving roll V0.8/V1.0 for solid wire (mounted in the
wire feeder).
For GMAW and FCAW-SS process, the technical
specification describes:
Type of welding wire
Wire diameter
Recommended equipment, which can be bought by
user, was mentioned in the chapter "Accessories".
Installation and Operator Instructions
Read this entire section before installation or operation of
the machine.
Location and Environment
This machine will operate in harsh environments.
However, it is important that simple preventative
measures are followed to assure long life and reliable
operation.
Do not place or operate this machine on a surface with
an incline greater than 15° from horizontal.
Do not use this machine for pipe thawing.
This machine must be located where there is free
circulation of clean air without restrictions for air
movement to and from the air vents. Do not cover the
machine with paper, cloth or rags when switched on.
Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum.
This machine has a protection rating of IP23. Keep it
dry when possible and do not place it on wet ground
or in puddles.
Locate the machine away from radio controlled
machinery. Normal operation may adversely affect
the operation of nearby radio controlled machinery,
which may result in injury or equipment damage.
Read the section on electromagnetic compatibility in
this manual.
Do not operate in areas with an ambient temperature
greater than 40°C.
Input Supply Connection
WARNING
Only a qualified electrician can connect the welding
machine to the supply network. Installation had to be
made in accordance with the appropriate National
Electrical Code and local regulations.
Check the input voltage, phase and frequency supplied to
this machine before turning it on. Verify the connection of
ground wires from the machine to the input source. The
welding machine SPEEDTEC 215C must be connected to
a correctly installed plug-in socket with an earth pin.
Input voltage is 115Vac 50/60Hz or 230Vac 50/60Hz. For
more information about input supply refer to the technical
specification section of this manual and to the rating plate
of the machine.
Make sure that the amount of mains power available
from the input supply is adequate for normal operation of
the machine. The necessary delayed fuse (or circuit
breaker with "B" characteristic) and cable sizes are
indicated in the technical specification section of this
manual.
WARNING
The welding machine can be supplied from a power
generator of output power at least 30% larger than input
power of the welding machine.
WARNING
When powering the machine from a generator be sure to
turn off welder first, before generator is shut down, in
order to prevent damage to welder!
Output Connections
